It is reported by TASS with reference to IRNA.

“Today, a significant part of the country is connected to the Internet,” Rouhani said.

He noted that at present "in the villages everyone has access to the global network."

Earlier it was reported that Iran partially restored the Internet connection after a five-day disconnection throughout the country in response to protests due to higher gas prices.

On November 17, the State Department announced that they condemn attempts by the Iranian authorities to turn off the Internet.

The United States later imposed sanctions on Iran’s communications and information minister, Mohammad Jawad Azari Jahromi.
